Abstract: Excerpt from Address by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman before the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Convention, Las Vegas, Nevada, Jan. 14, 1963: I have worked on farms before…and after...REA. To me, REA is more than a concept...it is the difference between a kerosene lamp and an electric light; between a hand-cranked cream separator and one driven by an electric motor; between a refrigerator and an icebox with an overflowing pan of water; between milking by hand and by machine; between an electric clothes washer and the old type of washer I pumped back and forth when I was a boy.
